![YourAnonCentral's tweet photo. The Centurion Project's voter surveillance tool was built by US political operatives with direct ties to the Trump regime. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
The data on 2.9 million Albertans was loaded onto an app built with US funding, shaped by US political strategists, and deployed by a Canadian separatist organizer who spent nearly two years cultivating US partners before launching the Centurion Project. The question is not whether there is a US connection to what lawyers have called potentially the most significant privacy breach in Canadian history. The question is how deep the operation goes, who in the Trump orbit knew about it, and how far are they willing to take it.
On the night of 29 April 2026, David Parker stood in front of supporters at the Edmonton Oilfield Technical Society and unveiled the Centurion Project app, describing the technology as the same tool that "helped Trump win Michigan." Minutes after Parker finished speaking, an Elections Alberta investigator arrived with Edmonton police officers to inform organisers they were under investigation for improperly accessing and using the province's list of electors. Parker had already loaded the names, addresses, and voter identification numbers of every judge, every lawyer, every politician, every domestic abuse victim, every First Nations chief, every journalist, every senator, and every elections investigator in the province onto that app. Former premier Jason Kenney, on learning his home address had been shown to meeting participants, retained legal counsel and said he had previously received threats from people involved with the separatist, anti-vaccine, and far-right movements in Alberta. The database was accessible to anyone with the link, with no identity verification required.
Parker is a former Harper PMO staffer and the founder of Take Back Alberta, the political machinery credited with installing Danielle Smith as leader of the United Conservative Party. Smith attended Parker's wedding in 2023. UCP caucus staff attended an online Centurion Project meeting in April 2026, though the UCP says staff believed the data being presented had been legally obtained. Smith says she learned about the breach through media reports.
Elections Alberta confirmed the list came from the Republican Party of Alberta, a registered provincial party that advocates for independence, which had lawful access to the data. Investigators use fictitious "salt" names seeded into lists distributed to parties to identify the source of any leaked copy. Those salt names appeared in the Centurion database. Parker has not denied this. He has described the database as "like a phone book" and said it was intended to help volunteers search for friends and acquaintances they could canvass. He has also said he obtained the list on what he described as the black market for $45,000. Both things cannot be simultaneously true.
By 13 May, Elections Alberta had issued 568 cease-and-desist letters: 23 to people identified as having received full copies of the list, and the rest to people who had created accounts to access the searchable database. Lorne Gibson, former Election Commissioner at Elections Alberta, told Canada's National Observer: "It's the largest data breach in Canada. I haven't heard of anything that surpasses that scale." Parker has not cooperated with the investigation and has refused to sign a statutory declaration confirming compliance with a direction to cease and desist. The RCMP announced its own investigation in April. Alberta's Privacy Commissioner opened a third parallel investigation in May. Elections Alberta is pursuing a permanent injunction at a Court of King's Bench hearing scheduled for later this summer.
Take Back Alberta, Parker's previous organisation, was fined $120,500 by Elections Alberta in February 2025 for circumventing election advertising spending limits and for accepting contributions from outside Alberta and Canada.
Parker refused to cooperate with that investigation too, and was subpoenaed. He told PressProgress regarding his donors: "I wouldn't want to be naming those donors if I was Elections Alberta. It's a dangerous game messing with the powerful."
The app and its architects
The Centurion Project is not a novel idea. It is an adaptation of a Michigan tool called 10xVotes. Parker says he spent nearly two years building the collaboration. "For almost two years, it'll be two years this fall, I've been working with them, talking with them, trying to build this out," he told a podcast. "And the result is the Centurion Project." He described it as "the 10x slash the Centurion Project app." A version of the Michigan app reviewed by PressProgress has a substantially similar interface to the Alberta tool.
The collaboration predates the public launch by at least a year. Canada's National Observer found a 10xVotes subdomain, https://t.co/Sel5WJO25t, registered in March 2025, a full year before the Centurion app went public, pre-stocked with names and addresses of several thousand Albertans concentrated in central Alberta around Red Deer. Approximately 150 entries were already marked "claimed," indicating active use. Elections Alberta appeared unaware the site existed until it was reported by media.
10xVotes is the assumed name of a company called Voteatron LLC, the brainchild of two west Michigan political operatives. Drew Born, a Grand Rapids commercial real estate broker and director of Voteatron, runs a group called Michigan Family Action and previously ran for chair of the Michigan GOP. He has promoted the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 plan on social media, been photographed at Turning Point USA galas at Mar-a-Lago posing with Project Veritas' James O'Keefe, and been photographed alongside Trump's FBI director Kash Patel. He has also advocated, in posts that are documented and archived, for the annexation of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Born's backers tout 10xVotes as a tool that helped deliver Michigan's 15 electoral college votes to Trump in the 2024 presidential election, and Michigan Republicans were holding statewide information sessions about the platform in hopes it would help return right-wing candidates to Congress in the 2026 midterms.
Parker told a podcast he "used all of my political capital with Tucker [Carlson] to get them to endorse it on stage that night," at a 2024 Tucker Carlson Live event in Grand Rapids where 10xVotes paid $50,000 for a VIP suite.
Drew Wierda, 10xVotes' other founder, introduces himself as the nephew of Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, the brother of Trump's first-term education secretary Betsy DeVos. Prince is himself a former donor to Pete Hoekstra's past congressional campaigns. Born and Wierda are both alumni of Hope College in Holland, Michigan, a private Christian liberal arts school affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church. This matters because the Dutch Reformed Christian-conservative donor network in west Michigan is not merely a religious community. It is a power structure, and Pete Hoekstra has operated inside it for decades.
The ambassador's network
US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra claims he was unaware that 10xVotes was being used by Alberta separatists. In his statement to PressProgress, he acknowledged having promoted the app in his earlier role but flatly denied personal involvement or financial stake. "I have zero involvement with 10xVotes," Hoekstra said. "I have never had any financial relationship with 10xVotes."
Born and Hoekstra are both listed as directors of the Mecosta Environmental and Security Alliance, a Michigan group opposing the construction of an EV battery manufacturing plant in west Michigan. Beyond that, Born is the stepson of JC Huizenga, a Michigan businessman and major GOP donor. Huizenga is a long-time donor to Hoekstra's past congressional campaigns. He and Hoekstra co-chaired Mitt Romney's 2012 West Michigan leadership team and served together as board members of the Netherland-America Foundation. Hoekstra was later appointed US ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term, where he was accused of foreign interference after hosting an event at the US Embassy for the far-right Forum voor Democratie of Thierry Baudet, attended by approximately 30-40 party donors. Dutch MPs called it a potential violation of the Vienna Convention. The Dutch foreign ministry was asked to investigate.
Born's mother, Tammy Born Huizenga, has been appointed as a senior advisor to the US Department of Health and Human Services in support of RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again agenda. The mother of the co-founder of the app whose Canadian adaptation is now subject to three concurrent investigations is currently serving inside the Trump administration.
Hoekstra, when asked whether the US government takes a position on US actors helping secessionist groups in Canada, said: "Who they work with in Canada is not our responsibility."
That is not a denial, it is a statement of non-accountability from the sitting USian ambassador to Canada.
On 8 May 2026, ten days after Parker's app launch, Hoekstra abruptly cancelled a planned speaking engagement at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in Ottawa. Conference organisers said he had been recalled to Washington for urgent meetings. His spokesperson said he was in Washington with a Canadian business delegation for the SelectUSA Summit and was called to meetings with senior White House officials. Hoekstra has not returned to Canada.
The methodology of coercion
What 10xVotes and the Centurion Project built is not just an app. It is a system for identifying who is persuadable, where they live, and who in their social network can be deployed to apply personal pressure and manipulate their perception and decision-making.
The system works by asking each asset to identify ten people in their network who lean in the right political direction but do not reliably turn out. The asset is then responsible for those ten people. It is managed social manipulation, and it only functions if you know enough about your targets in advance.
That is where the electors list comes in. With 2.9 million names, addresses, voter ID numbers, electoral districts, and, in the root database, phone numbers for more than two million entries, the Centurion app was a surveillance apparatus with political organising as its public facing identity, pointed inward at Albertans, operated by a group with active ties to USian operatives who publicly advocate Alberta's annexation by the United States.
Canadian human rights defender and world-renowned philosopher Heather Marsh, whose work on data, democracy, and mass collaboration has been cited in academic and policy settings across Europe and North America, wrote about the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018 with a precision that applies directly here:
"An uninformed vote is a coerced vote." — Heather Marsh
The broader argument is that without access to and trust in information, democratic participation collapses into deference to whoever controls the information environment.
The Centurion model does not even require convincing anyone of anything. It requires knowing where you live, who your neighbours are, and whether enough social pressure can be applied before referendum day. Marsh has written at length about the danger of transferring civic data to platforms outside democratic accountability.
"No one should be gifting their innermost thoughts to states and corporations. Personal data is used to coerce public opinion and advance the interests" of those who hold it. — Heather Marsh
The Centurion database, built on an illegally obtained provincial list, accessible to hundreds of unvetted people, and stored on infrastructure whose national jurisdiction remains publicly unconfirmed, is precisely the transfer she has spent years warning about.
Neither the Centurion Project nor 10xVotes has answered whether any Alberta voter data was stored on US servers. That question is material to any assessment under PIPEDA and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act, and it remains open.
What the US gains from a broken Canada
The "I wasn't aware" framing papers over a question of motive. What does the Trump administration, or its aligned operatives, actually get from a destabilised Canada?
Alberta sits on approximately 167 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, nearly four times the volume of the entire United States. It accounts for 84% of Canada's total oil production and 60% of its natural gas output. The value of Alberta's energy production reached $139 billion in 2024. Bitumen production alone generated $95.8 billion that year. The oil sands can sustain current production rates for more than 140 years.
The US already buys nearly all of it: approximately 95-97% of Alberta's crude exports flow south. The problem, from a USian energy-dominance perspective, is that Canada controls the regulatory environment, the pipeline policy, and the pricing. A separated or annexed Alberta removes all three constraints simultaneously.
Between April 2025 and January 2026, the Alberta Prosperity Project met three times with US State Department officials. A joint meeting with the State Department and the US Treasury was planned for February 2026 to discuss a half-trillion dollar credit mechanism upon achieving independence.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in January 2026, described Albertans as "a very independent people" and called the province "a natural US partner."
The Alberta Prosperity Project's $500 billion credit ask, directed at the US Treasury, was not an ask for friendship. It was a request for US financing of Alberta's secession, with the implicit understanding that a newly independent Alberta indebted to Washington would not be negotiating pipeline policy from a position of sovereignty.
A separated or annexed Alberta means US access to those reserves without Canadian environmental regulation, without Canadian pipeline policy, and without negotiating with a federal government in Ottawa. It means the end of Canada as a coherent trade counterpart, arriving precisely as Trump's tariff war has made Canada's unified bargaining position its primary economic defence. A Canada that cannot hold itself together at the negotiating table is a Canada that cannot hold itself together at all.
The people who would benefit most from this outcome are currently in the Trump cabinet.
Doug Burgum, Interior Secretary and chair of the National Energy Council, controls all executive branch agencies involved in energy permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, and transportation. He comes from North Dakota, which sits directly on the US side of the Alberta border and whose oil industry competes with and is integrated into Alberta's. An Alberta without Canadian pipeline policy means Keystone XL-style infrastructure becomes approvable by executive order, with no Impact Assessment Act, no Crown consultation requirements under Treaties 6, 7, and 8, and no federal Canadian government to negotiate with.
Chris Wright, Energy Secretary and founder of Liberty Energy, is the fossil fuel industry's most prominent advocate inside the administration. Harold Hamm, executive chairman of Continental Resources and Wright's primary backer for the Energy Secretary role, helped organise a Mar-a-Lago event where Trump reportedly asked oil industry leaders to donate $1 billion to his campaign in exchange for deregulation. The deregulation Alberta's separation would provide, removing Canadian environmental law from 167 billion barrels of reserves, is worth orders of magnitude more than any domestic regulatory rollback.
The pipeline and infrastructure play is where private capital intersects most directly with the political goal. TC Energy, Enbridge, and Pembina Pipeline are the three major operators of Alberta export infrastructure. All three are Canadian-headquartered. Under annexation or deep integration, US firms would be positioned to compete for or acquire that infrastructure under USian ownership rules. Koch Industries, the largest private funder of anti-regulatory, anti-federal-government political activity in North America, has pipeline interests through its Flint Hills Resources subsidiary and political interests that align precisely with the regulatory arbitrage that Alberta separation would provide.
The royalty architecture matters too as Alberta oil currently generates royalties that flow to the Alberta government and, via equalization, partly to the Canadian federal government. An annexed Alberta means those royalties flow to a USian state or territorial government, with federal taxation going to DC. Over 140 years of production at current rates, the compounding fiscal value of that shift is incalculable.
Bessent's public statement calling Alberta a "natural US partner" is not idle commentary from a Treasury Secretary who manages the world's reserve currency. It is a signal to financial markets, to separatist organisers, and to the government of Alberta that the US is watching, is interested, and has not yet decided what it will not do.
Two tracks, one target
The US interference is overt, while the Russian interference is covert. A website called https://t.co/54Ry5r0OQx appeared after the 2025 federal election alongside YouTube and TikTok accounts of the same name. . Both were found to have been created by Storm-1516, a Russian covert influence network with a documented history of manufacturing fictional websites targeting audiences across multiple countries. The Kremlin-aligned Pravda News Network published 67 articles about Alberta or the "51st state" between December 2025 and April 2026, compared to 14 mentions of Ontario in the same period.
A coordinated network of roughly 20 YouTube channels promoting Alberta separation and US annexation, identified by the Canadian Digital Media Research Network, had accumulated 40 million cumulative views. The hosts turned out to be hired actors recruited on Upwork. The operators, identified by their digital trail, were based in the Netherlands. Hoekstra was the US ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term.
US and Russian influence operations are increasingly converging, especially in coordinated influence and disruption campaigns aimed at the EU, Ukraine, the Baltics, Canada, Mexico, and other traditional allies. Regressive influencers tied to Tenet Media, which, according to a US indictment, is a US outlet funded by Russian interests, have amplified the same separatist content. A coordinated network of foreign-manufactured channels and domestically deployed surveillance infrastructure, built by operatives linked to the sitting US ambassador, targeting the same political fault line. Russia wants Canada to be unstable. The Trump regime wants Alberta's oil and a weakened federal government. While their methods and goals may differ on paper, the target is the same.
Marsh wrote in September 2025 about democratic self-determination being hijacked by foreign-manufactured content, specifically addressing USians facing questions about their own country's future.
"It is better to stand up and walk with dignity in your chosen path," "than to be swept along by Russian memes and TikTok analysis." — Heather Marsh
She was writing to USians about their own country's politics. The observation applies with equal force to Albertans being asked to make a generational decision about secession through an information environment shaped by Storm-1516, the Pravda News Network, Tucker Carlson, and a surveillance app built in Michigan. In the same post, responding to suggestions that Canada should merge with the United States, she was direct: "No means no, even for nice guys."

If the Trump administration wants us to sell US booze again, President Trump needs to drop his tariffs that are making life more expensive on both sides of the border.
@DonBraid Sorry Don - Guillbeault didn't create the separtist movement. It was already there decades before he came onto the federal political scene.
Comparto este video que lanzaron ayer Silvio Rodríguez y Chico Buarque; los fondos que se recaben serán donados a la Sala de Pediatría del Instituto de Oncología de Cuba, así que si queréis verlo, darle like y compartirlo con otras personas, es un pequeño grano de arena para aliviar la difícil situación en que se encuentran.

She’s right. They’ve been around for a very long time.

Believe me, I’m a child of a rig worker during the National Energy Program. Plenty of separatist talk in the 80s. They elected one!

Bessent's public statement calling Alberta a "natural US partner" is not idle commentary from a Treasury Secretary who manages the world's reserve currency. It is a signal to financial markets, to separatist organisers, and to the government of Alberta that the US is watching, is interested, and has not yet decided what it will not do.
Two tracks, one target
The US interference is overt, while the Russian interference is covert. A website called https://t.co/54Ry5r0OQx appeared after the 2025 federal election alongside YouTube and TikTok accounts of the same name. . Both were found to have been created by Storm-1516, a Russian covert influence network with a documented history of manufacturing fictional websites targeting audiences across multiple countries. The Kremlin-aligned Pravda News Network published 67 articles about Alberta or the "51st state" between December 2025 and April 2026, compared to 14 mentions of Ontario in the same period.
A coordinated network of roughly 20 YouTube channels promoting Alberta separation and US annexation, identified by the Canadian Digital Media Research Network, had accumulated 40 million cumulative views. The hosts turned out to be hired actors recruited on Upwork. The operators, identified by their digital trail, were based in the Netherlands. Hoekstra was the US ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term.
US and Russian influence operations are increasingly converging, especially in coordinated influence and disruption campaigns aimed at the EU, Ukraine, the Baltics, Canada, Mexico, and other traditional allies. Regressive influencers tied to Tenet Media, which, according to a US indictment, is a US outlet funded by Russian interests, have amplified the same separatist content. A coordinated network of foreign-manufactured channels and domestically deployed surveillance infrastructure, built by operatives linked to the sitting US ambassador, targeting the same political fault line. Russia wants Canada to be unstable. The Trump regime wants Alberta's oil and a weakened federal government. While their methods and goals may differ on paper, the target is the same.
Marsh wrote in September 2025 about democratic self-determination being hijacked by foreign-manufactured content, specifically addressing USians facing questions about their own country's future.
"It is better to stand up and walk with dignity in your chosen path," "than to be swept along by Russian memes and TikTok analysis." — Heather Marsh
She was writing to USians about their own country's politics. The observation applies with equal force to Albertans being asked to make a generational decision about secession through an information environment shaped by Storm-1516, the Pravda News Network, Tucker Carlson, and a surveillance app built in Michigan. In the same post, responding to suggestions that Canada should merge with the United States, she was direct: "No means no, even for nice guys."

The data on 2.9 million Albertans was loaded onto an app built with US funding, shaped by US political strategists, and deployed by a Canadian separatist organizer who spent nearly two years cultivating US partners before launching the Centurion Project. The question is not whether there is a US connection to what lawyers have called potentially the most significant privacy breach in Canadian history. The question is how deep the operation goes, who in the Trump orbit knew about it, and how far are they willing to take it.
On the night of 29 April 2026, David Parker stood in front of supporters at the Edmonton Oilfield Technical Society and unveiled the Centurion Project app, describing the technology as the same tool that "helped Trump win Michigan." Minutes after Parker finished speaking, an Elections Alberta investigator arrived with Edmonton police officers to inform organisers they were under investigation for improperly accessing and using the province's list of electors. Parker had already loaded the names, addresses, and voter identification numbers of every judge, every lawyer, every politician, every domestic abuse victim, every First Nations chief, every journalist, every senator, and every elections investigator in the province onto that app. Former premier Jason Kenney, on learning his home address had been shown to meeting participants, retained legal counsel and said he had previously received threats from people involved with the separatist, anti-vaccine, and far-right movements in Alberta. The database was accessible to anyone with the link, with no identity verification required.
Parker is a former Harper PMO staffer and the founder of Take Back Alberta, the political machinery credited with installing Danielle Smith as leader of the United Conservative Party. Smith attended Parker's wedding in 2023. UCP caucus staff attended an online Centurion Project meeting in April 2026, though the UCP says staff believed the data being presented had been legally obtained. Smith says she learned about the breach through media reports.
Elections Alberta confirmed the list came from the Republican Party of Alberta, a registered provincial party that advocates for independence, which had lawful access to the data. Investigators use fictitious "salt" names seeded into lists distributed to parties to identify the source of any leaked copy. Those salt names appeared in the Centurion database. Parker has not denied this. He has described the database as "like a phone book" and said it was intended to help volunteers search for friends and acquaintances they could canvass. He has also said he obtained the list on what he described as the black market for $45,000. Both things cannot be simultaneously true.
By 13 May, Elections Alberta had issued 568 cease-and-desist letters: 23 to people identified as having received full copies of the list, and the rest to people who had created accounts to access the searchable database. Lorne Gibson, former Election Commissioner at Elections Alberta, told Canada's National Observer: "It's the largest data breach in Canada. I haven't heard of anything that surpasses that scale." Parker has not cooperated with the investigation and has refused to sign a statutory declaration confirming compliance with a direction to cease and desist. The RCMP announced its own investigation in April. Alberta's Privacy Commissioner opened a third parallel investigation in May. Elections Alberta is pursuing a permanent injunction at a Court of King's Bench hearing scheduled for later this summer.
Take Back Alberta, Parker's previous organisation, was fined $120,500 by Elections Alberta in February 2025 for circumventing election advertising spending limits and for accepting contributions from outside Alberta and Canada.
Parker refused to cooperate with that investigation too, and was subpoenaed. He told PressProgress regarding his donors: "I wouldn't want to be naming those donors if I was Elections Alberta. It's a dangerous game messing with the powerful."
The app and its architects
The Centurion Project is not a novel idea. It is an adaptation of a Michigan tool called 10xVotes. Parker says he spent nearly two years building the collaboration. "For almost two years, it'll be two years this fall, I've been working with them, talking with them, trying to build this out," he told a podcast. "And the result is the Centurion Project." He described it as "the 10x slash the Centurion Project app." A version of the Michigan app reviewed by PressProgress has a substantially similar interface to the Alberta tool.
The collaboration predates the public launch by at least a year. Canada's National Observer found a 10xVotes subdomain, https://t.co/Sel5WJO25t, registered in March 2025, a full year before the Centurion app went public, pre-stocked with names and addresses of several thousand Albertans concentrated in central Alberta around Red Deer. Approximately 150 entries were already marked "claimed," indicating active use. Elections Alberta appeared unaware the site existed until it was reported by media.
10xVotes is the assumed name of a company called Voteatron LLC, the brainchild of two west Michigan political operatives. Drew Born, a Grand Rapids commercial real estate broker and director of Voteatron, runs a group called Michigan Family Action and previously ran for chair of the Michigan GOP. He has promoted the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 plan on social media, been photographed at Turning Point USA galas at Mar-a-Lago posing with Project Veritas' James O'Keefe, and been photographed alongside Trump's FBI director Kash Patel. He has also advocated, in posts that are documented and archived, for the annexation of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Born's backers tout 10xVotes as a tool that helped deliver Michigan's 15 electoral college votes to Trump in the 2024 presidential election, and Michigan Republicans were holding statewide information sessions about the platform in hopes it would help return right-wing candidates to Congress in the 2026 midterms.
Parker told a podcast he "used all of my political capital with Tucker [Carlson] to get them to endorse it on stage that night," at a 2024 Tucker Carlson Live event in Grand Rapids where 10xVotes paid $50,000 for a VIP suite.
Drew Wierda, 10xVotes' other founder, introduces himself as the nephew of Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, the brother of Trump's first-term education secretary Betsy DeVos. Prince is himself a former donor to Pete Hoekstra's past congressional campaigns. Born and Wierda are both alumni of Hope College in Holland, Michigan, a private Christian liberal arts school affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church. This matters because the Dutch Reformed Christian-conservative donor network in west Michigan is not merely a religious community. It is a power structure, and Pete Hoekstra has operated inside it for decades.
The ambassador's network
US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra claims he was unaware that 10xVotes was being used by Alberta separatists. In his statement to PressProgress, he acknowledged having promoted the app in his earlier role but flatly denied personal involvement or financial stake. "I have zero involvement with 10xVotes," Hoekstra said. "I have never had any financial relationship with 10xVotes."
Born and Hoekstra are both listed as directors of the Mecosta Environmental and Security Alliance, a Michigan group opposing the construction of an EV battery manufacturing plant in west Michigan. Beyond that, Born is the stepson of JC Huizenga, a Michigan businessman and major GOP donor. Huizenga is a long-time donor to Hoekstra's past congressional campaigns. He and Hoekstra co-chaired Mitt Romney's 2012 West Michigan leadership team and served together as board members of the Netherland-America Foundation. Hoekstra was later appointed US ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term, where he was accused of foreign interference after hosting an event at the US Embassy for the far-right Forum voor Democratie of Thierry Baudet, attended by approximately 30-40 party donors. Dutch MPs called it a potential violation of the Vienna Convention. The Dutch foreign ministry was asked to investigate.
Born's mother, Tammy Born Huizenga, has been appointed as a senior advisor to the US Department of Health and Human Services in support of RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again agenda. The mother of the co-founder of the app whose Canadian adaptation is now subject to three concurrent investigations is currently serving inside the Trump administration.
Hoekstra, when asked whether the US government takes a position on US actors helping secessionist groups in Canada, said: "Who they work with in Canada is not our responsibility."
That is not a denial, it is a statement of non-accountability from the sitting USian ambassador to Canada.
On 8 May 2026, ten days after Parker's app launch, Hoekstra abruptly cancelled a planned speaking engagement at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in Ottawa. Conference organisers said he had been recalled to Washington for urgent meetings. His spokesperson said he was in Washington with a Canadian business delegation for the SelectUSA Summit and was called to meetings with senior White House officials. Hoekstra has not returned to Canada.
The methodology of coercion
What 10xVotes and the Centurion Project built is not just an app. It is a system for identifying who is persuadable, where they live, and who in their social network can be deployed to apply personal pressure and manipulate their perception and decision-making.
The system works by asking each asset to identify ten people in their network who lean in the right political direction but do not reliably turn out. The asset is then responsible for those ten people. It is managed social manipulation, and it only functions if you know enough about your targets in advance.
That is where the electors list comes in. With 2.9 million names, addresses, voter ID numbers, electoral districts, and, in the root database, phone numbers for more than two million entries, the Centurion app was a surveillance apparatus with political organising as its public facing identity, pointed inward at Albertans, operated by a group with active ties to USian operatives who publicly advocate Alberta's annexation by the United States.
Canadian human rights defender and world-renowned philosopher Heather Marsh, whose work on data, democracy, and mass collaboration has been cited in academic and policy settings across Europe and North America, wrote about the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018 with a precision that applies directly here:
"An uninformed vote is a coerced vote." — Heather Marsh
The broader argument is that without access to and trust in information, democratic participation collapses into deference to whoever controls the information environment.
The Centurion model does not even require convincing anyone of anything. It requires knowing where you live, who your neighbours are, and whether enough social pressure can be applied before referendum day. Marsh has written at length about the danger of transferring civic data to platforms outside democratic accountability.
"No one should be gifting their innermost thoughts to states and corporations. Personal data is used to coerce public opinion and advance the interests" of those who hold it. — Heather Marsh
The Centurion database, built on an illegally obtained provincial list, accessible to hundreds of unvetted people, and stored on infrastructure whose national jurisdiction remains publicly unconfirmed, is precisely the transfer she has spent years warning about.
Neither the Centurion Project nor 10xVotes has answered whether any Alberta voter data was stored on US servers. That question is material to any assessment under PIPEDA and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act, and it remains open.
What the US gains from a broken Canada
The "I wasn't aware" framing papers over a question of motive. What does the Trump administration, or its aligned operatives, actually get from a destabilised Canada?
Alberta sits on approximately 167 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, nearly four times the volume of the entire United States. It accounts for 84% of Canada's total oil production and 60% of its natural gas output. The value of Alberta's energy production reached $139 billion in 2024. Bitumen production alone generated $95.8 billion that year. The oil sands can sustain current production rates for more than 140 years.
The US already buys nearly all of it: approximately 95-97% of Alberta's crude exports flow south. The problem, from a USian energy-dominance perspective, is that Canada controls the regulatory environment, the pipeline policy, and the pricing. A separated or annexed Alberta removes all three constraints simultaneously.
Between April 2025 and January 2026, the Alberta Prosperity Project met three times with US State Department officials. A joint meeting with the State Department and the US Treasury was planned for February 2026 to discuss a half-trillion dollar credit mechanism upon achieving independence.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in January 2026, described Albertans as "a very independent people" and called the province "a natural US partner."
The Alberta Prosperity Project's $500 billion credit ask, directed at the US Treasury, was not an ask for friendship. It was a request for US financing of Alberta's secession, with the implicit understanding that a newly independent Alberta indebted to Washington would not be negotiating pipeline policy from a position of sovereignty.
A separated or annexed Alberta means US access to those reserves without Canadian environmental regulation, without Canadian pipeline policy, and without negotiating with a federal government in Ottawa. It means the end of Canada as a coherent trade counterpart, arriving precisely as Trump's tariff war has made Canada's unified bargaining position its primary economic defence. A Canada that cannot hold itself together at the negotiating table is a Canada that cannot hold itself together at all.
The people who would benefit most from this outcome are currently in the Trump cabinet.
Doug Burgum, Interior Secretary and chair of the National Energy Council, controls all executive branch agencies involved in energy permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, and transportation. He comes from North Dakota, which sits directly on the US side of the Alberta border and whose oil industry competes with and is integrated into Alberta's. An Alberta without Canadian pipeline policy means Keystone XL-style infrastructure becomes approvable by executive order, with no Impact Assessment Act, no Crown consultation requirements under Treaties 6, 7, and 8, and no federal Canadian government to negotiate with.
Chris Wright, Energy Secretary and founder of Liberty Energy, is the fossil fuel industry's most prominent advocate inside the administration. Harold Hamm, executive chairman of Continental Resources and Wright's primary backer for the Energy Secretary role, helped organise a Mar-a-Lago event where Trump reportedly asked oil industry leaders to donate $1 billion to his campaign in exchange for deregulation. The deregulation Alberta's separation would provide, removing Canadian environmental law from 167 billion barrels of reserves, is worth orders of magnitude more than any domestic regulatory rollback.
The pipeline and infrastructure play is where private capital intersects most directly with the political goal. TC Energy, Enbridge, and Pembina Pipeline are the three major operators of Alberta export infrastructure. All three are Canadian-headquartered. Under annexation or deep integration, US firms would be positioned to compete for or acquire that infrastructure under USian ownership rules. Koch Industries, the largest private funder of anti-regulatory, anti-federal-government political activity in North America, has pipeline interests through its Flint Hills Resources subsidiary and political interests that align precisely with the regulatory arbitrage that Alberta separation would provide.
The royalty architecture matters too as Alberta oil currently generates royalties that flow to the Alberta government and, via equalization, partly to the Canadian federal government. An annexed Alberta means those royalties flow to a USian state or territorial government, with federal taxation going to DC. Over 140 years of production at current rates, the compounding fiscal value of that shift is incalculable.
Bessent's public statement calling Alberta a "natural US partner" is not idle commentary from a Treasury Secretary who manages the world's reserve currency. It is a signal to financial markets, to separatist organisers, and to the government of Alberta that the US is watching, is interested, and has not yet decided what it will not do.

This is a declarative and definitive position in a time of confusion and distraction. Forces which seek to break our country are both internal and external.
STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS
The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law.
The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation.
The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not.
Her internal political problems have become our national crisis.
The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong.
This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage.
I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great.

Javier Bardem speaks out in #Cannes on toxic masculinity:
"That problem also goes to Trump, Putin and Netanyahu... the big balls man saying 'my cock is bigger than yours and I'm going to bomb the shit out of you' is a f*cking male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of dead people."

While bombing Ukraine, the Russians sent politicians to the world’s most prestigious art show and turned Venice Biennale into a playground for war criminals.
I confronted the ambassador and exposed dirty money behind the scenes.
Watch my investigation:
So called "peace" talks with rusha are a pharse.
We will rebuild everything. But no one will give us back our 24 dead, including 3 children.
Also buried under the rubble: the illusion of peace talks. russia only knows one thing: killing.

Anita Anand: "Russia is stealing Ukrainian children, indoctrinating Ukrainian children, and refusing to return these children to their families ... we have already 2,100 children returned, but at least 20,000 cases remain open."
I agree. rushins should not be permitted to participate in international events until they pull out of Ukraine. No Oscars, Olympics or the Venice Biennale.
2014 happened and the world went back to normal. Then 2022 happened and now the russians are getting invited back to the Oscars, Opera, Olympics and this week, the Venice Biennale. Dictators use sport & art to legitimise their crimes. It’s how they survive.
In an era when objective truth is a nice-to-have and the bar for politicians is in the depths of hell, it’s helpful to have someone like Rosemary Barton in the mix. For more than two decades, Barton, currently the CBC’s chief political correspondent, has chatted with, fact-checked and, when the occasion merits it, borderline interrogated the country’s most consequential public figures. Lately, thanks to some unusually exciting policy shifts under our refreshingly boring new prime minister, Canada’s newsmakers are commanding global headlines. But first, they’ll probably pop up on Rosemary Barton Live.
And yet, as any journalist will attest, her job has never been harder. If politicians would prefer to sidestep tough inquiries, The Joe Rogan Experience and Call Her Daddy offer warmer, cushier landings. But as this country embarks on a 360-degree nation-building makeover, Canadians have more questions than ever. Barton is doing her best to get answers—no filler.

In addition to internal and outside investigations, Alberta needs to call a public inquiry.
The breach of personal information reported by Elections Alberta is deeply concerning.
The federal government is taking this seriously. The RCMP has launched a criminal probe, in addition to Elections Alberta’s internal investigation. Those processes need to be allowed to proceed thoroughly and independently.
I agree with Premier Smith’s statement today that protecting the personal information of Albertans is of the utmost importance.
Albertans need to know their personal information is secure, their democratic institutions are protected, and anyone responsible for wrongdoing will be held accountable.
I thought so too. What a powerful address peppered with gentle nudges.
Perhaps one of the most striking moments in the king's speech came when he reminded lawmakers that the Magna Carta, cited repeatedly by the U.S. Supreme Court over the years, advanced the foundational principle that "executive power is subject to checks and balances."
Way to go King!

I am deeply saddened by the recent escalation of attacks against Ukraine, which continue to afflict civilians. I express my solidarity with those who are suffering and assure all the Ukrainian people of my prayers. I renew my appeal for weapons to fall silent and for the path of dialogue to be pursued.
Canada strongly condemns Russia’s latest wave of strikes against Ukraine, including on Kyiv and other cities, that have killed and injured civilians. Deliberate attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure violate international law and must stop.
